Islamic Marriage Ceremony

In Islam nikkah is a marriage contract, considered as a sacred bond. The Qur’an refers to this as a ‘serious contract’ were both parties have been allocated certain responsibilities to be carried out towards each other with sincerity to God. God acknowledges these deeds as worthy of reward, therefore a Muslim should strive and make genuine effort to build a harmonious home with their spouse in order to earn these easy yet heavy rewards.Marriage [nikkah] may only be conducted with full consent from both parties, in the case of the female the approval of her wali (guardian) is also required. A Muslim woman may only make nikkah with a Muslim man. A Muslim man may make nikkah with a Muslim woman or chaste woman from the people of the book ahl kitab.
